About this tool

One PDF. Both human and machine readable.

Factur-X (called ZUGFeRD in Germany) is the hybrid e-invoice format adopted across the EU. It is a normal PDF/A-3 document that humans can read, with a structured XML attachment inside that accounting systems can process automatically. One file, two audiences.

What is the XML profile?

This tool generates the EN 16931 profile, the European core invoice. It includes everything required by the EU directive and is accepted in both France and Germany. Other profiles such as BASIC, EXTENDED, and XRECHNUNG are available via the API.

When do I need this?

B2G invoicing has been mandatory in Germany since 2020 and in France from 2024. B2B mandates are rolling out across the EU through 2026 and 2027. If you invoice public bodies or larger businesses in the EU, Factur-X is the path of least resistance.

Need this in production?

This tool runs on the PDF Generator API. Sign up for a free account and use the same endpoint at pdfgeneratorapi.com for full programmatic access, custom templates, and your own logo.
